曼彻斯特附近，竟然藏着一座江南园林！

就在大曼彻斯特地区的索尔福德（Salford），备受期待的“扬州儒苑”（Yangzhou Scholars’ Garden）于2026年9月26日正式向公众开放。在开幕日的这一天，华人之家有幸受邀参加隆重的开幕仪式。

园林位于英国皇家园艺学会的RHS Garden Bridgewater内，占地约2.8公顷（7英亩），历时八年多精心筹建。园林以江苏扬州传统古典园林为蓝本，由中国工匠采用传统的榫卯、砖瓦和石作等工艺建造，将中国古典园林的独特魅力带到了英国。

值得一提的是，这座园林的发展也得到了社会各界的支持。RHS Garden Bridgewater欣喜地宣布，已故香港商人及慈善家李启鸿博士（Dr Lee Kai Hung DL）向园方捐赠了180万英镑。这是该园自建成以来获得的个人单笔最大额捐赠。这笔资金将用于园内园艺与景观的进一步发展，同时支持在当地社区及更广泛的地区推广中国园林艺术、历史遗产与文化，让更多英国民众有机会认识和欣赏中华传统园林之美。

走进扬州文人园，最吸引人的就是围绕中央庭院和池塘而建的四座传统建筑。这些建筑彼此相连，分别代表中国古代文人的四项雅艺，琴、棋、书、画，将音乐、围棋、书法和绘画融入园林空间。亭台、水景、山石与植物相互结合，一步一景，充分体现了中国传统园林含蓄、自然的美学特色。

这里不仅适合欣赏建筑和拍照，更适合放慢脚步，感受中国园林所讲究的“慢生活”。园内的植物和造景也融入了丰富的中华文化寓意，例如对好运、健康和长寿的美好祝愿。特别是在秋天，天气渐凉，树叶渐渐变色，在池塘边坐一会儿，听听水声、欣赏秋景，仿佛置身江南。

扬州文人园的意义也不只在于打造一处优美的景观。通过园林建筑、植物艺术和文化活动，它为英国当地居民提供了一个了解中国传统文化的窗口。随着园艺与景观项目的持续发展，以及中国园林文化推广工作的开展，这里有望成为连接中英文化、促进社区交流的重要场所。

如果计划前往游览，也可以提前准备一些水和简单的路餐。根据游客反馈，旺季期间园内咖啡厅可能需要排队，自己带一些饮品和小食会更加方便。

不用飞十几个小时去江南，在曼彻斯特附近，也能感受一场别具韵味的中国园林之旅。无论是欣赏古典建筑、感受自然之美，还是了解中国文化与历史，扬州文人园都值得安排一次探访！

A Jiangnan-Style Chinese Garden Hidden Near Manchester!

Did you know that a beautiful traditional Chinese garden has recently opened near Manchester? Located in Salford, Greater Manchester, the much-anticipated Yangzhou Scholars’ Garden officially opened to the public on 26 September 2026. On the opening day, Manchester Chinese Centre was honoured to be invited to attend the grand opening ceremony.

Situated within the Chinese Garden at RHS Garden Bridgewater, the garden covers approximately 2.8 hectares (7 acres) and took more than eight years of careful planning and construction. Inspired by the classical gardens of Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, China, it was built by Chinese craftspeople using traditional techniques, including mortise-and-tenon joinery, brickwork, roof tiling and stone masonry. The result brings the distinctive beauty of classical Chinese garden design to the UK.

The garden’s development has also received generous support from the community. RHS Garden Bridgewater is delighted to announce a £1.8 million gift from the late Dr Lee Kai Hung DL, a Hong Kong businessman and philanthropist. This represents the largest single gift from an individual to RHS Garden Bridgewater. The donation will support further horticultural and landscape development, as well as promote the art, heritage and culture of Chinese gardening within the local community and beyond. This generous contribution will help more people in the UK discover and appreciate the beauty of traditional Chinese gardens.

One of the garden’s most striking features is its four traditional buildings arranged around a central courtyard and pond. Connected to one another, the buildings represent the four classical arts practised by ancient Chinese scholars: qin (the zither), qi (chess or Go), shu (calligraphy) and hua (painting). Music, board games, calligraphy and painting are all reflected in the garden’s design. Pavilions, water features, rocks and plants come together to create a series of beautiful views, capturing the subtlety, natural harmony and elegance of traditional Chinese garden aesthetics.

This is more than just a place to admire architecture and take photographs. It is also an ideal spot to slow down and experience the relaxed pace of life that Chinese gardens encourage. The plants and landscape features carry rich cultural meanings, expressing wishes for good fortune, health and longevity. Autumn is a particularly lovely time to visit, as the weather becomes cooler and the leaves gradually change colour. Sitting beside the pond, listening to the water and enjoying the autumn scenery, visitors may almost feel as though they have been transported to Jiangnan, the picturesque region south of the Yangtze River.

The Yangzhou Scholars’ Garden is also significant for its cultural value. Through its traditional architecture, horticultural design and cultural activities, it offers local residents in the UK a window into Chinese history and heritage. With continued investment in horticulture and landscaping, alongside efforts to promote Chinese gardening, the garden has the potential to become an important place for cultural exchange between China and the UK and for bringing local communities together.

If you are planning a visit, it may be worth bringing some water and a light packed lunch. According to visitor feedback, the café can be busy during peak periods, so bringing your own drinks and snacks may be more convenient.

There is no need to fly for more than ten hours to visit Jiangnan. Right here near Manchester, you can experience the charm of a traditional Chinese garden. Whether you are interested in classical architecture, natural beauty, Chinese culture or history, the Yangzhou Scholars’ Garden is well worth a visit!

9月6日，我们举办了一场药剂师职业讲座，邀请Jacky Mann为同学们介绍药剂学的学习内容、日常工作以及未来的职业发展，让同学们对药剂师这一职业有了更深入的了解。

讲座中，Jacky介绍了自己的日常工作。他们不仅需要根据医生开的处方，准确决定药物的剂量，还要照顾和观察病人，了解药物是否有效以及有没有副作用。药剂师也会与医生、护士一起工作，并根据病人的情况提出建议。如果认为处方中的药物不合适，也可以与医生沟通，建议选择其他药物。

Jacky还分享了自己在急症工作的经验，需要面对病情严重的病人，并根据不同情况选择合适的药物和消炎药。同时，药剂学不断发展，药剂师也需要持续学习和进行研究，了解新的治疗方法和药物。讲座中还推荐了与药物和制药行业有关的书籍《Bad Science》，帮助同学们进一步了解这个领域。

Jenny Wong校长也补充介绍了药剂行业的发展情况。英国政府会为部分药房提供资助，但开设药房需要申请相关牌照，而且不同地区的规定有所不同。随着药房行业商业化，一些大型药房机构不断扩大市场，也有人建立药房后再转让给大型机构。此外，药剂师还可以从事自由职业、管理工作或为大型药房机构提供地区服务。

随着英国医疗体系不断调整，部分药剂师未来可以承担更多工作，例如开具部分药物处方和提供疫苗接种服务，以减轻家庭医生的工作压力。因此，新一代药剂师需要接受更多专业培训，而已有经验的药剂师也需要继续学习新的技能。

通过这次讲座，同学们不仅认识到药剂师并不只是“配药”，还了解到他们在病人护理、药物安全、医疗团队合作和医学研究中都发挥着重要作用。此次活动也让同学们进一步了解了药剂学的学习方向和职业发展机会，为未来选择大学专业和职业道路提供了有价值的参考。

Pharmacy Career Talk: Exploring Pharmacy and Future Career Opportunities

On 6 September, we held a Pharmacy Career Talk, inviting Jacky Mann to introduce students to the study of pharmacy, the daily responsibilities of a pharmacist, and future career opportunities. The talk gave students a deeper understanding of the profession and its important role in healthcare.

During the talk, Jacky shared his experience as a pharmacist and explained his daily responsibilities. Pharmacists not only check prescriptions and determine the correct dosage of medicines, but also monitor patients, making sure that their medication is effective and checking for possible side effects. They work closely with doctors and nurses and can provide advice based on patients’ needs. If a pharmacist believes that a particular medicine may not be suitable, they can discuss this with the doctor and suggest an alternative.

Jacky also shared his experience of working in emergency care, where he deals with seriously ill patients and helps select appropriate medicines and anti-inflammatory treatments according to their individual needs. As pharmacy continues to develop, pharmacists also need to keep learning and carrying out research to understand new medicines and treatment methods. He also recommended the book Bad Science, which explores issues related to science, medicine and the pharmaceutical industry.

Jenny Wong, the Headteacher, also shared some information about the development of the pharmacy sector. In the UK, the government provides funding for certain pharmacy services, while anyone wishing to set up a pharmacy must meet the relevant licensing requirements, which can vary between areas. As the pharmacy sector becomes increasingly commercialised, some large pharmacy organisations have expanded their presence in the market. Some individuals also establish pharmacies and later sell them to larger organisations. Pharmacists can also work as freelancers, take on management roles, or provide services on behalf of larger pharmacy organisations.

As the UK healthcare system continues to evolve, pharmacists are taking on additional responsibilities, such as prescribing certain medicines and providing vaccinations, helping to reduce the workload of GPs. This means that newly qualified pharmacists need to develop a wider range of professional skills, while experienced pharmacists may also need further training to take on these new responsibilities.
Through this talk, students learned that pharmacists do much more than simply dispense medicines. They play an important role in patient care, medication safety, teamwork and medical research. The event also helped students gain a better understanding of pharmacy as a university subject and career pathway, providing valuable information for those considering their future studies and careers.

9月5日，是华人之家中文学校新学年的开学日。孩子们背起书包，带着期待和笑容回到熟悉的校园，而今年的开学第一天，也因为一场特别的惊喜庆生会，增添了不少温馨与喜悦。

放学时，在校董蔡律师的精心安排下，一场为校长Jenny Wong准备的生日惊喜悄悄展开。蔡律师带动家长和同学们一起唱起生日歌，为校长庆祝生日，校园里顿时充满了歌声和欢笑。

A Level班的同学们更是早有准备，特意为校长准备了贺卡、鲜花和巧克力，希望给校长一个小小的惊喜。同学们还安排了一段小小的“演出”，一步一步把校长“请”到班前，最后让校长在大家的掌声和欢笑声中发表生日感言。虽然只是一场简单的庆生活动，却充满了师生之间真挚的情谊，也为新学年留下了一段温暖而难忘的回忆。

今年对华人之家来说，更是一个意义非凡的年份。中文学校走过了二十年。二十年来，华人之家在曼城华人社区一路扎根成长，培育了一届又一届学习中文的孩子，也陪伴许多华裔家庭走过孩子成长的重要阶段。从最初学习拼音、认字、阅读，到参加GCSE、A Level中文考试，一批又一批学生在这里学习中文、认识中华文化，并逐渐走向更广阔的世界。今天，当孩子们周末背着书包，开开心心地走进中文学校，或许很难想象，在这份平常与快乐的背后，是二十年来无数老师、家长、义工以及学校团队的坚持和付出。二十年的中文教育之路，有过艰辛，也经历过风雨，但正是在一代又一代人的努力下，中文教育的种子慢慢扎根，在曼城这片土地上生根发芽。

在这二十年的道路上，Jenny Wong校长一直坚持推广中文教育，同时十分重视青少年的成长和社区参与。多年以来，她为年轻人提供了许多课堂以外的学习和实践机会。从参与曼城中国城春节活动的巨龙舞龙，到在中文学校担任助教义工；从参加春节节目表演，到参与社区文化活动，青少年在学习中文的同时，也有机会学习沟通、合作、承担责任，累积宝贵的社会经验。近年来，学校还举办专业职业探索讲座，邀请不同领域的专业人士与学生分享，让即将面对升学选择的同学认识不同的大学专业和职业方向，为他们未来的学习和发展提供更多参考。正因为多年来对学生和社区的关心与付出，Jenny校长也深受家长和学生的爱戴。于是，在这个特别的生日，A Level班的同学们也想用自己的方式表达感谢：准备一张的贺卡、一束鲜花、一盒巧克力，再加上一场精心安排的小惊喜，简单却充满心意。

二十年漫漫长路，从拓荒到植树，从播种到静待花开，中文教育一路走来并不容易。一路上的辛酸、挑战与风雨，都成为成长的一部分。如今，看着孩子们背着书包走进校园，老师们家长们继续支持孩子学习中文，这或许就是二十年坚持最温暖的回报。

更值得一提的是，在庆祝华人之家成立二十周年之际，凤凰卫视和《欧洲时报》也特别采访Jenny校长，让更多人了解她多年来推广中文教育的经历和心路历程。近年来，她也开始积极收集和整理曼城华人的史料，并与曼城中央图书馆历史档案及剑桥大学展开联系，希望把一代又一代曼城华人的故事和珍贵记忆保存下来，让这些属于社区的历史不被遗忘，并传给未来的一代。

二十年，不只是一个数字，更是一段从无到有、从播种到成长的岁月。今天的华人之家，已经不仅是一所学习中文的学校，更是连接孩子、家庭、文化与社区的一座桥梁。

愿初心不改，薪火相传，愿未来的二十年，华人之家继续在曼城扎根，让中文教育的种子继续生长。

A Birthday Surprise on the First Day of School | Twenty Years of Dedication from the headteacher, Jenny Wong

5 September marked the first day of the new academic year at Manchester Chinese Centre Chinese School. The children returned to school with their school bags, full of excitement and smiles. This year, however, the first day of term was made even more special by a surprise birthday celebration for our Headteacher, Jenny Wong, bringing an extra sense of warmth and happiness to the school.

At the end of the school day, a special birthday surprise, thoughtfully arranged by School Governor Solicitor Mrs Soi, was quietly prepared for Jenny. She brought parents and students together to sing “Happy Birthday” to the headteacher, filling the school with laughter, music and warm wishes. The A Level students had also prepared their own special surprise. They brought Jenny a birthday card, flowers and chocolates, and even organised a little performance to make the celebration more memorable. Step by step, they managed to bring Jenny to the front of the class, where she eventually gave a few words of thanks amid applause and laughter. It was a simple celebration, but one filled with genuine affection between the students and their headteacher, creating a beautiful and memorable start to the new school year.

This year is particularly meaningful for Manchester Chinese Centre, as the Chinese School celebrates its 20th anniversary. For two decades, the school has grown alongside the Chinese community in Manchester, nurturing generation after generation of young Chinese learners and accompanying many families through important stages of their children's development. From learning Pinyin, recognising Chinese characters and developing reading skills, to progressing to GCSE and A Level Chinese examinations, countless students have learned the Chinese language, discovered Chinese culture and gained confidence to embrace a wider world. Today, seeing children happily walking into school every weekend with their school bags, it may be easy to overlook the dedication and hard work behind this seemingly ordinary scene. For twenty years, teachers, parents, volunteers and the school team have worked together through challenges and difficulties. Step by step, the seeds of Chinese education have taken root and grown in Manchester.

Throughout these twenty years, headteacher Jenny Wong has remained committed to promoting Chinese education while placing great importance on the development of young people and their involvement in the wider community. Over the years, she has created many opportunities for young people to learn and gain practical experience beyond the classroom. From taking part in the spectacular dragon dance during Chinese New Year celebrations in Manchester Chinatown, to volunteering as teaching assistants at the Chinese School; from performing at Chinese New Year events to participating in a wide range of community and cultural activities, young people have been given opportunities to develop communication skills, teamwork, responsibility and valuable real-life experience while learning Chinese. In recent years, the school has also organised professional career talks, inviting specialists from different fields to share their experiences with students. These sessions have helped students approaching university applications to learn more about different degree subjects and career pathways, giving them useful ideas as they consider their future. It is perhaps because of this long-standing care and commitment to students and the community that Jenny is so warmly respected and loved by parents and students. On her special birthday, the A Level students therefore wanted to express their appreciation in their own way—with a card, flowers, chocolates and a carefully planned little surprise. Simple gifts, but full of heartfelt meaning.

Twenty years is a long journey. From pioneering the school in its early days, to planting the seeds of Chinese education, nurturing them and patiently waiting for them to blossom, the journey has never been without challenges. The difficulties, struggles and storms along the way have all become part of the school's growth. Today, seeing children walking into school with their school bags, teachers continuing to teach, and parents continuing to support their children's Chinese learning, perhaps this is one of the most meaningful rewards for twenty years of dedication.

As part of the 20th anniversary celebrations, Jenny has also been interviewed by Phoenix CNE Channel and Nouvelles d'Europe UK Edition, giving the wider community an opportunity to learn about her journey and her dedication to promoting Chinese education over the years. More recently, she has taken an active interest in collecting and preserving historical materials relating to the Chinese community in Manchester. She has been working with the Archives at Manchester Central Library and establishing links with the University of Cambridge, with the hope of preserving the stories and memories of generations of Chinese people in Manchester. These community histories are precious records of the past, and preserving them ensures that they will not be forgotten, but can be passed on to future generations.

Twenty years is more than just a number. It represents a journey from nothing to something, from planting seeds to watching them grow. Today, Manchester Chinese Centre Chinese School is more than a place where children learn Chinese. It has become a bridge connecting children, families, language, culture and the wider community.

May we remain true to our original purpose and continue to pass the torch from one generation to the next. May Manchester Chinese Centre continue to put down roots in Manchester over the next twenty years, allowing the seeds of Chinese education to keep growing, flourishing and inspiring generations of young people to come.

Special Thanks from Manchester Chinese Centre Sharing Books, Connecting Cultures

On 23 June, Mr Xu Yongda, President of the Blackpool Chinese Community Association, and Mr Tony Lam，Principal of the Chinese School, personally drove to Manchester to deliver 31 boxes of precious Chinese books to Manchester Chinese Centre.

These books are more than just books，they are a meaningful gift of knowledge, culture and care.

We gradually distribute the books to different schools, giving more children the opportunity to enjoy Chinese reading and discover the richness of Chinese language and culture.

On the same day, several mainstream schools from Gorse Academies Trust visited Manchester Chinese Centre to take part in our cultural workshops. We were delighted to share these wonderful Chinese books with teachers from the participating schools, so that they can bring the knowledge, stories and cultural experiences back to their own schools and share them with their students.

At the start of the new school year in September, some of the books were also shared with parents, giving them the opportunity to choose Chinese books they liked. We hope this will help create a growing enthusiasm for reading Chinese books and enjoying Chinese reading, both at school and at home.

Our heartfelt thanks to both gentlemen for their dedication and hard work. By personally delivering these books, they have brought knowledge, reading opportunities and the seeds of Chinese culture to our community and to the next generation.

A good book can light up a young heart.

A shared book can connect a community.

Together, let us plant the seeds of Chinese reading in the hearts of more children and help them grow through language, books and culture.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Blackpool Chinese Sunday School and Blackpool Chinese Community Association

探索会计与金融, 从大学走向职场

8月29日（星期六），华人之家特别邀请 黄禧欣和黄禧林 两位大学生，为同学们带来一场内容丰富的会计管理职业讲座。从 GCSE、A Level 选科，到大学专业选择、学习方法、大学生活、英国大学申请流程，以及如何准备“个人陈述”Personal Statement，两位大学生与同学们分享了许多实用的经验。对于有志于会计、金融、银行及商业管理行业的同学来说，如何尽早规划自己的方向，是迈向未来职业道路非常重要的一步。讲座也特别强调 工作经验（Work Experience） 的重要性，因为除了学术成绩，及早接触真实的工作环境，也能帮助学生更了解自己的兴趣和未来想从事的职业。一共有14位学生参与讲座，一些家长也陪同孩子探索会计与金融之路。

讲座其中一个重点，就是介绍学生如何争取大型专业机构提供的培训、实习及就业机会，例如 PwC Flying Start、Sutton Trust 等项目。通过这些机会，学生可以在大学学习期间接触专业工作环境，在假期参与工作及培训，同时累积宝贵的实践经验。大学毕业后，学生除了拥有学位，也已经具备一定的职场经验和专业训练，为日后的职业发展打下更好的基础。她们也提醒同学们，机会不会自动来到身边，除了努力读书，也要主动了解申请条件、提早准备个人陈述、培养沟通能力，并积极争取每一个能够提升自己的机会。

会计管理并不只是“做账”！ 讲座让同学们认识到，会计与金融其实涵盖非常广泛的领域，包括审计、税务、银行、保险、企业财务、投资、风险管理、商业咨询等。以大型专业服务机构为例，工作涉及不同企业和行业，也需要处理复杂的财务、税务及商业问题，因此对专业人才有很大的需求。会计与金融专业同时具有国际性，许多跨国公司采用相近的专业系统和工作模式，所培养的专业知识和技能可以应用于不同国家及不同领域。未来除了成为会计师，也可以继续发展至金融管理、企业管理、咨询、教学，甚至创业，职业选择相当广泛。

华人之家一直相信，教育不仅仅是在课堂里学习知识，更重要的是帮助年轻人看见未来的可能性。 经过多年的努力，华人之家已经有一些学生逐步进入不同的专业领域工作。我们希望通过一次又一次面对面的职业讲座，让同学们能够直接聆听专业人士的经验，了解大学申请和职场发展的真实情况，并从中找到属于自己的方向。选择方向，提早准备；主动争取，累积经验。 愿今天的分享能够成为同学们规划未来职业道路的一个起点，帮助大家一步一步，为自己的未来创造更多可能！

Exploring Accounting & Finance · From University to the Workplace】

On Saturday, 29 August, Manchester Chinese Centre was delighted to welcome Annabel Wong and Isabelle Wong to deliver an engaging and informative Accounting & Management Career Talk for our students. The session covered many topics that students are particularly interested in, including choosing GCSE and A Level subjects, selecting university courses, effective study strategies, university life, the UK university application process, and how to prepare a strong Personal Statement. For students considering a future in accounting, finance, banking or business management, early planning is an important step towards building a successful career. The speakers also highlighted the importance of work experience, as gaining exposure to real working environments can help students understand different professions and make more informed decisions about their future. A total of 14 students took part in the talk,some parents also come along to explore the career of finance and accounting with their children.

Seize the opportunities and gain workplace experience early! One of the key topics discussed was how students can apply for training, internships and early-career opportunities offered by major professional organisations, including programmes such as PwC Flying Start and opportunities supported by the Sutton Trust. These programmes can allow students to gain valuable exposure to professional working environments while studying at university, including work and training opportunities during university holidays. By the time they graduate, students can have not only a university degree but also valuable practical experience and professional skills, giving them a stronger foundation for their future careers. The speakers also reminded students that opportunities do not simply come to you. Alongside achieving good academic results, students should actively research opportunities, prepare their Personal Statements early, develop strong communication skills and make the most of every opportunity to learn and grow.

Accounting and finance is much more than simply “doing the books”! The talk introduced students to the wide range of career paths within the profession, including auditing, taxation, banking, insurance, corporate finance, investment, risk management and business consulting. Large professional services organisations work with businesses across many different sectors and deal with complex financial, tax and commercial issues, creating strong demand for skilled professionals. Accounting and finance are also highly transferable and international fields. Many multinational organisations use similar professional systems and practices, meaning that the knowledge and skills gained can be applied across different countries and industries. Students may go on to become accountants, develop careers in financial or business management and consulting, enter education, or even start their own businesses. The possibilities are wide-ranging.

At Manchester Chinese Centre, we believe that education is about more than learning knowledge in the classroom. It is also about helping young people discover the possibilities that lie ahead. Over the years, some of our students have gone on to pursue careers in a variety of professional fields. Through face-to-face career talks such as this, we hope to give students the opportunity to hear directly from professionals, gain a better understanding of university applications and career development, and discover their own direction for the future. Choose your direction early, prepare well, and actively seize every opportunity to gain experience. We hope this talk will be a valuable starting point for our students as they plan their future careers and take one step at a time towards creating more possibilities for themselves.
